Listen to me pilgrims
I'm leaving tomorrow
One of you has seen me on my way
But dont worry, I'll be back
If you pray

Come up little children
Don't cry those tears for me
Save them for your sisters and your friends
Cause they'll need you
More than they need me

Cheer up sweet mother
I promise I'll be home soon
The Cross's call will keep me a few days
But know I'll be back
And you'll be saved

We'll share the water
We'll keep the wine
And we'll take the bread you made
But eat it in our own time

We'll take the lessons
To raise children wise
We'll take the pinch of salt
To keep us excused for our crime

We'll take the memories
To our graves we'll hold dear
We'll change the songs of old
For our names to be sung in fear

We'll take the lives
Of those who sin
Against your holy name
Now you're dead we can begin
